As the base comes under siege after a surprise Egyptian attack, the surviving soldiers must choose between following their idealistic commander into a final, and likely hopeless battle, or to go along with the unit's level-headed doctor, whose plan will save their lives - but will betray their values. Based on the memories of the soldiers who were there, the film is both a thrilling, and terrifying, memorial to the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur war.

His great sacrifice - no wife, no kids, no life outside of writing - seemed to have paid off. But his next two novels are flops and soon publishing houses lose interest in his output, while academic circles dub him a mere literary footnote. Amitai's inevitable midlife crises is particularly acute as his life's work seems have amounted to nothing. Desperate times call for desperate measures. The usually aboveboard Amitai feels that he has no choice but to put together a master plan, a perfect crime if you will, that will restore his fame and resurrect his fortune. Beautifully shot, with wonderful acting, the film examines Israeli society with irreverent humor and thought provoking vision.
